We entered the vines that were made like tunnels. When we entered, we were immediately looked at.
"Is that Iris? That freshman is nice.""Omg! He dates papa Maven!""Did I think Rio was her boyfriend? Why is Maven your date?"What else were they saying but I ignored them and we went straight to our table. They are already there. Aaron immediately raised an eyebrow at me so I immediately stared at him.I turned to Rio and my classmate Janella with him. Our eyes met and I stared at him. Not known ah? There is still Janella who she still knows."Is that the grand entrance, Iris?" Uno asked with a laugh so Mnemo pinched him. I also glared at him."Why is Iris's high blood we have now?" my cousin suddenly put his arm around me. He was really annoying. The pleasure of his eyes.Instead of answering him I introduced them to Maven. "Guys, this is Maven. Maven that's Aaron my cousin, Hela my roommate, Mnemo and Uno they're my friends. And that's Rio and his date."The ball ended well as I bid farewell to my father. Maybe next year I'll see him again. His schedule is so busy that he doesn't have time for me. Running the council is hard especially if you don't have someone who supports you along the way.I was also once my father's hater. There were many rumors about him. That he was doing something very bad. But I doubt that my dad's a very hardworking man he won't do anything reckless to lose the position that he got right now. He was just following the law.I just locked myself in my room all weekend. I heard on Monday that we will be showing our traits. Of course Shekina is still our teacher.Hela isn't around though, I'm starting to be convinced that he moved to another room because he doesn't want me. Or maybe they're too busy with the training again that they can't even sleep a wink.And now I am starting to worry if the same fate happens to me once I become a senior. But isn't it the goal? To become a senior? So I will be ab
"Valerio Addison."Rio was bored walking towards the center. He looks like a fool. I thought he's gonna destroy something again but he just lift himself and that's all.Our classmates looked disappointed in what she did but Shekina just laughed. Hmmm ... something's fishy. I wonder what.I was the last to be called. And I can feel their fucking eyes again. If I just kidnap you?I didn't bother to go to the center because they themselves moved away from me."She if this place will be destroyed it will be replace tomorrow yes?" I asked her. She suddenly grinned. Okay. Let the show begin.I closed my eyes and waited for my body to warm up. I heard my classmates sigh and when I woke up I knew my eyes were a different color and I was surrounded by fire.I started to throw fires until it became a lot. I made wings that are made of fire and go above. I, then started to absorb the fire that I created. My father always told me to clean my mess so I won't mess up. Lol. Th
To this day I am still innovating with my classmates. They are my classmates Uno which I find weird because they're older than me. But anyway it's not about the age it's about the ability.Our teachers are different. If the teachers when I was a freshman were still easy easy here in the junior division they were pretty strict. They don’t want to be late. They don’t like art. They hate it when you abide them. That's why I can't say no when I was paired by Rio.We are task to go to station 5 and tame a dragon. That's also one of the reasons why station 5 is off limits and there are many ferocious creatures there. Fortunately, when we were swimming, we were far away in the thick forest.But right now, we are about to head into the jungle. And it's my first time. I'm quite scared.The teacher gave us three days. We brought food and weapons in case of over use, we still have protection.Angel was paired by the man he fought. I think the name's Jaxon. We're still new so the
At once we rushed at the dragon. I rained an arrow on it, while Uno used his trait to float themselves.They are on top of the dragon and are trying to fight it."Iris, aim for the throat! Damn it!" Jaxon smiled at me. I stared at him. I am aiming for the throat but it doesn't work."It's not working!" I shouted at him. "Use your trait!" Uno shouted.Tsk, I have done nothing else but use my trait. I started making fireball. I also made a wing myself out of fire. I rained fire on it but it did not respond to him."Just what kind of creature is that ?!" I said in disgust. Even Jaxon and I don't know what to do because they don't like it either.They still couldn’t get Rio back from the cave so we couldn’t leave this forest."Should we send the red light?" Uno asked me. He is by my side now, shaking himself.Jaxon is also using his trait to protect himself. Suddenly the dragon shouted at us and released fire. "Duck!" Uno immediately g
It was morning when I woke up again. I hear the bell, signaling that breakfast is ready. I don't have to worry because I think I'm exempted. I mean I'm wounded duh?I slowly got up and peeked outside.I laughed because those students were trying to run. "Why can't they just wake up early?" none of my own question.I'm proud that someone will bring me food here.I sighed.This is hard. You can't do what you want. But it's also my fault. I've been reckless.I lay down on the bed again because I had nothing else to do. This is my punishment. Tsk. It's boring here.I was no longer surprised when the door suddenly opened. But I was surprised when Rio came in."What are you doing here?""I was ordered to bring you food." I raised an eyebrow. "Where's the food?" I asked while wondering if it was in his hand."They're outside ... floating." I stared at him. "Don't you know how to bring food?"He scratched his head. "Well, yes. It might be thrown away."
The next day we were summoned to the quadrangle early. I will announce that we are seniors.The teacher who would receive us as new members of the senior division was already standing there.I saw Angel and Jade from a distance so I wave my hands at them. They immediately approached me."I'm nervous." Angel greeted me.Jade laughed at him. "Why are you nervous? We're just going to study!"Angel pouted. "Still ..."We faced the podium when our teacher Sir Grand spoke."Good morning students of Iliaden. My apology for waking you up this early even if it's weekend. As you all know, I have an important announcement."The students nodded and began to whisper."Six students have ace in their studies and can now be promoted as Seniors. May we call on Bruno Esguerra from district four, Angel Marie Natividad from district two, Jade Diana Wang from district five, Jaxon Minares from district five, Valerio Addison from district four and the last but
We made the most of the two days off. We went to station 4 and enjoy the beautiful scenery. We thought of taking a bath to relax. Because we all know that once our class as senior starts we no longer know if we can do it.I look at the boys paddling in the lake. We all know how to swim so there is nothing to worry about. Thanks to Rio I know that too.Jade suddenly approached me and suddenly pulled me upright. "Let's take a bath! You invited me but you're not taking a bath!"He frowned at me so I could do nothing but drag him to the lake.I immediately felt the coolness of the water. It made me shiver. And I forgot I still had a wound so I cried out in pain."Are you okay ?!" Angel asked me if he could get close to me."Oh my gosh it's healing!" Jade said excitedly so I also looked at my wound.And it's true my wounds are now healing ... fast. As the water heals the wound I lose its pain.I also suddenly felt better. "So it's true, this
I stretched as I woke up. My back hurts because I couldn’t sleep in a good bed.Maven was still asleep so I just left and went to the dorm. I'm the only one here. I don't know if the cousin and Hela are also students or faculty because that's where they really reach.I could do nothing but get dressed because breakfast was coming up.After I got to the dorm I went straight to the dining hall. I saw Jade so I sat next to her."Where are they?""Where did you sleep?"We asked the same question."Okay, I'll answer you first. They haven't taken care of anything yet. But I'm sure they'll be here. So?"I sneezed. "In the infirmary I slept." He nodded and didn't ask any more questions.Angel and Jax also arrived so we ate. I didn't ask why the two weren't there because they might think differently."You didn't wait for us, wow. I felt betrayed." said Uno that we worked hard.Rio sat next to me because there was no other seat. The
Rio's POV When you want something, you do anything to get it. When you want to protect someone, you'd do anything to do it. Life is a gamble, sometimes we and sometimes we lose. And in my case, I lost in the gamble of life. I lost the woman that I love without even showcasing what I truly feel towards her. I don’t know what really happened to him.That day, he suddenly disappeared and I didn't even know what really happened to him. Is she dead? Is she coming back? I don't know.
After the exchange of sharp words between Aaron and Rio the traitor left as well.Unbelievably, maybe I should admit that there are things we really don't expect to happen.Just like my cousin, I thought he was loyal to us, to his family but he just seemed to be honest with himself.I no longer knew what to say to her mom.Her husband is dead and her son helped the king to kill him. I couldn’t help but gasp. The next day I woke up to a loud explosion above."What's that, Rio?"I asked nervously.Maybe they did something bad to my father. "Something's happening." "What is that?" Later something exploded again.I also heard as if someone was shouting."Could it be that it's them?" Rio could not answer my question.He may also be unaware of whatever is going on. If before there was an
I woke up with a shake of my shoulder.I was immediately grabbed by my head because of the pain.When I opened my eyes Rio exposed himself to me, worried."You're still bleeding," he commented.I grabbed my forehead and felt the hot liquid.Tsk."Where are we?""In the dungeon."I looked around and he was right.We're in the dungeon.Somewhere beneath the ground."They gave us until tomorrow sundown to surrender the stone. If you don't hand it they will take you father's life." So it's still not over huh?"Where's Angel and Jax?"I asked him."They managed to escape but they only got two trait stones. Aaron stopped them from getting the other two."Tears welled up in my eyes as he mentioned my cousin's name.My friend is a traitor. My cousin is a traitor and lastly my un
I felt the pain in my stomach.I can see nothing but blood.Blood kept flowing from my stomach.And there's also blood in my mouth.I was depressed, and I wasn’t even shocked that I spit blood. "Iris!"my friends shout at me.I can't even looked at them. Later Jade drew the sword so I got on my knees. I heard Vale's footsteps towards me.He cupped my face."You lost Franchesca, why don't you hand me the stone?" I spat at him."Never." He grabbed her face.He looks mad."Then I guess your father's
"So this is the problem Uno's talking about huh?" Jax commented while looking at Jade."I didn't know that some snake is already crawling behind our backs." Rio added.But Jade doesn't seem to care. Instead she smiled sweetly at the two. "Oh boys! I enjoyed being with you! Especially since you're so ignorant of what's going on!""You're crazy." Jax hissed."I have a lot of fun!" Jade said excitedly. It makes me wanna pull her hair. Damn, traitor.The king spoke again. "You see, Jade has ambitions. And that is to become powerful by influence. So she agreed to be my eye in the academy so that he can marry my son Vince and become the queen."I looked at Jade in shock. "And here I thought you were content with what you have now." No emotion if promised to him."Oh come on Iris, everybody dreams! It's just a coincidence that her dreams are lofty." That's when I lost control. I attacked the king with my traits but Jade quickly blocked the attack using th
I should have just woken up and gone down the tree.I was so shocked to see Rio wide awake. Did he sleep? just woke up?I wanted to ask him but my pride won't let me. After what he did in Avalon's place, it feels like he's not the Rio that I used to know.Even if Rio is a bit harsh, he would at least explain to me what the hell is happening. But instead he chose to mock me and be mum.Jax and Angel are hugging each other. They are still fine and have no problems.I sighed. I'm about to step on Angel when Rio speaks."Why didn't you tell me? Don't you trust me?" he asked. Difficult.I turned to him. "I was about to tell you but Aaron interfered. He said something very disturbing. I can't trust you."He laughed heartily. "You really think that I'll betray you? Especially now that you know who I am?""Oh, come on! You didn't tell me who you are either!" I scolded him."Because it's not important at all!""Then your father being the
It was night when I arrived at station 5 without anyone noticing. And even more annoying is that I can’t find what I’m looking for.The mystical dragon.He resides here.I wonder if he's still here up until now.I went to where we had found the dragon before but I didn’t even see a shadow.He's big and yet I can't see him.There I remembered that it might have been in a cave.I started walking again. I use my fire as a light. It is still a forest where wild animals live.When I entered the cave, the smelling masses immediately greeted me.No wonder, he's here.I looked up to him and to find out that he's sleeping.We're already friends so -"What are you doing here?" I tried to look back at who was speaking but I realized I had no one else with me so I looked at the dragon again."I said, what are you doing here?" there that wrinkled my forehead. Do I have anyone else with me here?"Hey! What's t
We are now passing through a narrow road. The headmaster said that we're heading to a bunker. We did not know that such a thing existed. At each corner there is only a small bulb that serves as a light.Finally someone opened the headmaster and exposed us to the hundreds of wounded.I covered my mouth. Something else is just as delicate.The headmaster addressed us."We've been attacked by the king, now I know who our opponent is."He took a deep breath. I can say that he is very tired."What are you going to do with the corpses outside?"The headmaster sat down and wiped his face. "I don't know, what does it look like I'm going to present to their parents?"We were stunned. "So, the people don't know yet?"Shake it. "Apart from the rebels there are none. We're glad that they came so somehow the students aren't exhausted."Suddenly sir Grand approached us. "We were attacked last night, they are seeking for the district 5 stone but ho
Avalon let us stay for the night. But tomorrow we will also leave. Now that we finally know who abducted my father and what has happened to the stone. We can save it now.I didn't let them talk to me the entire night. I have nothing to tell them yet. How can I tell them that my cousin just said it because there's a traitor in them? How can I tell them that? To my friends?I also couldn’t believe what he said. I can't believe I was a descendant of a king. If he wasn’t stripped off his title, I might be a princess now.But that doesn't matter anymore.The next day at the table while eating we were quietly empty. We could only hear the sound of the spoon."You can leave now." Avalon said.We wasted no more time and stood up. We still had to tell the headmater what we found out."But how can we go back?" Angel asked."I'm sure the prince will show you the way."We all looked at Avalon and were shocked."What the hell are you
